Thank you for this pronouncement Joe. After my recent WT101 discovery, and hearing that WTRB is the natural stepping up point from the 101, I proceeded to procure said bottle of RB and even found it for just under $30. I haven't opened it yet because I have so many open right now, but am looking forward to it even more now.

On topic, I had another pour of the EWSB '02 tonight. Down to one pour left and am enjoying it quite a bit.

The nose is open from the start, and while the flavors between the two are extremely similar, the first is smooth, buttery, and creamy and the finish blooms out into the redhot candy spice. The second is very sharp and bitter in comparison. Now, I still really enjoy the second, this is all just critical comparison, but the first was a special bourbon for the price in 2013. I've heard batch three is just as good, but I've never seen one.

Thanks. Those comments are spot on with what I have found as well. Batch 3 has not hit these parts either.

Great way to spend an afternoon!

I went to Whiskey Street last night. It's a new bar, and is the closest thing SLC has to a high end whiskey bar. My drinks were on an expense account, so I tried the 2013 Stagg. I liked it well enough, but it wasn't spectacular. Very BT-y.
